What a Queens ESA Letter From Us Has Behind It
With so many no-pet leases in the borough, a Queens ESA letter needs facts a landlord or co-op board can act on.

Animals in JFK and LaGuardia Terminals
Both airports are in Queens, and neither one's terminal rules mention emotional support animals, so plan for the pet rule.
Airlines may treat an ESA as a pet under federal rules. Our letters cover housing, so ask your airline what it allows. DOT rule
Forest Park and Flushing Meadows With a Dog
NYC Parks allows unleashed dogs in set places from opening until 9 a.m. and from 9 p.m. to closing; the rest of the time the leash limit is six feet. Parks Rule 1-04
Forest Park's two runs
Two runs: K9 Korral in Woodhaven and the Barking Lot in Kew Gardens, behind the Overlook. Dogs stay out of natural areas and trails.
Flushing Meadows Corona Park
NYC Parks lists an off-leash area but gives no location, so read the signs. The Underbridge Dog Run is a separate site along the Grand Central Parkway.
